The Pttsneld Advertiser announces
the death, at her home in Benton, New
Brunswick, of Sarah Moxon, wife of Eu-
gene Iurd, formerly of Harmony, but
now in the State prison at Thomaston for
the murder of his brother in 1889. 1t will
be remembered that lIurd had been mar
ricd only a few months when the crime
was committed, and his wife returned to
her parents in Benton rs soon as his trial
was over. She had been in failing health
ever since.
According to the Pttsfeld Advertiser,
there is n lady in that village who has the
faculty of seeing things that are to be
several years before they matcrializc so
as to be within the vision of ordinary
mortals. 1t is said that many years be-
fore the Canadian Pacific road and its
connections were dreamed of by the pro-
jectors, this lady, in her dreams one
night, saw Il train of cars pass up the val
ley towards the north. She told the
dream ut the brcakfa table, the next
and mothers railroad was af-
forwards standing joke in the family
The other day, however, the lady stood at
Il window, as in her Dire I'm, and saw the
train pass over the identical route, only
now the rest of the family saw it, too.
Another lady in lIartland is said to have
heard the rumble of the cars passing by
long before the track was laid.
